TOY BUSTERS Fidget yo-yo

Product Information

The playground Pop-It craze is popular with kids of all ages and is the perfect stress reliever for adults. Just depress the bubbles, enjoy the satisfying popping sound, flip it over and do it all again. The toy is made from soft silicone and can be easily gripped by little hands. The Rubik’s Cube has been fascinating and frustrating us since 1980, and the appeal of this vintage fidget toy - created before fidget toys were even a thing - shows no sign of fading.

Size: 16.5cm x 7.9cm x 2.9cm | Material: Stainless Steel and Silicone | Type: Flippy Chain | Age: 3 years+ What we like With so many on the market, it’s hard to know which are the best fidget toys for you and/or your children. The good news is that most are relatively inexpensive, so you can always invest in a few different toys and see what suits you or your child best. Ring fidgets were designed as the best fidget toys to help combat anxiety in a discreet way. They have beads or rotating pieces on the main band that can be spun with the fingers on your other hand to help you relax. Size: 6.2cm x 5.9cm x 4.7cm | Material: Plastic | Type: Multi-type | Age: Adult (though could be used by children 11+) What we likeIf spinners and poppers aren’t your thing, stretch toys may be the best fidget toys for you. Stretchy strings come in many colours and textures and these dinosaur ones are particularly good for ‘sensory seekers’ - children who love to investigate and are calmed by certain textures.

Durability: If your child is likely to use the toy often or is known for being a bit heavy-handed, make sure you buy a robust toy built to last. It may be worth paying a bit more for a top-quality fidget toy to save money in the long run. As a pen, it works really well and can be used for writing as well as a touch screen stylus. The swappable stylus heads are included inside as well as 13pcs of magnetic rings and 12pcs of steel balls. The only downside is that some customers felt there needed to be some instructions or ideas for designs given. It’s presented in a nice gift box and would make a great present for anyone who loves a good pen - or a good fidget.
